Somewhere

Dreamer

We are sitting in the hammock together

Bodies overlapping

We are like sisters

Our personalities compliment each other

Having been friends for so many lifetimes

I look up to the sky and ask my friend

"What if there are two guys right now staring back at us from somewhere in space?"

My friend laughs

"I don't know. Should we tell them hi?"

"Hi!!!" we yell

I almost imagine that you two say hi back 

That between miles of space

You stand before the universe

With a smile on your face

You seem so brave

You take everything in stride

Care for everyone you know

I find sympathy in your eyes

I only wish that those eyes 

Could drown me in your dreams

Your ideals

I wish we had a perfect world

You seem to know

Exactly what it needs

If only it could be

Old on the outside

Young on the inside

Memories and feelings 

You'd rather deny

As you go on being a light 

Hoping everyone will feel a little better 

A grandpa in a young body 

You're in no rush to grow up 

To face the challenges 

Life will throw at you

Horrors of wars and politics 

That you know so well 

I haven't been where you've been

I wouldn't know what you feel 

I'm as young as the sky

As fresh as a daisy on a hill 

Wise as trees

I am me and you are you

It is for others that you must remain strong 

For it is with friends and family that you belong 

Keep strong-child of the Universe
